The Australian Rugby League Commission is the official governing body of rugby league football within Australia. It was founded, as the Australian Rugby League 'Board of Control', in 1924, jointly by the New South Wales Rugby League and the Queensland Rugby League. Since 1924, all other state and territory Rugby League governing bodies have become affiliated to the League.
The completely restructured ARL Commission was formally established on 10 February 2012 and took control of all aspects of the game in Australia. From 1998-2012, the National Rugby League Partnership, a power-sharing arrangement between News Corporation and the Australian Rugby League (ARL) ran the National Rugby League competition, as a consequence of the Super League war. Other teams and competitions were run by the Australian Rugby League or state Leagues. Prior to 1998, the code in Australia had been administered largely by individual state leagues on a domestic basis, and the ARL on a national and international basis.
Legally, the ARL Commission is the existing, original ARL corporate entity, but with an entirely new constitution and regulatory framework. This effectively means that the game has been governed by the same overarching body in Australia since 1924.
The ARL Commission is the highest authority on the game of rugby league football within Australia. All affiliated leagues and clubs within Australia are under the ARLC's jurisdiction.
The primary objects of the Company are to:
The ARL Commission is the peak governing body of rugby league football in Australia. It is headquartered in Sydney at Rugby League Central, Moore Park, New South Wales.
All 16 National Rugby League clubs and the New South Wales Rugby League and the Queensland Rugby League are members of the Commission. This means that the Commission has 18 shareholder member in total.
The appointment of the original nine commissioners was intensely followed by the media. Placement firm Spencer Stuart shortlisted a list of potential members and the NRL Partnership whittled it down to the current members. Commissioners were required to not have had any link to any rugby league football governing body or organisation for the previous 2 years to ensure their independence.
